Two Fatal Accident* In AVhleh Train* Claimed Victim*. Atlanta, March 31.—As th result of the recent military inspections by Col. W. G. Obear, inspector general of state troops, and Maj. F. H. French of the Sixteenth United States Infantry, several Georgia companies have been put on probation and the disbandment of others has been recommended. Among those put on the probation list, is the Chatham Artillery of Sa vannah, which is given until May 1 to make a showing. The reason for the putting of this command on probation is that its enlisted strength has been allowed to fall below that required. Company C of the First Infantry at Swainsboro, commanded by Capt. C. H. Thompson, has also been put on probation. Col. Obear has recommended the dis bandment of Company B, Third In fantry, Augusta, commanded by Sec ond Lieut. C. B. Sledge. He has also recommended the disbandment of Company C, First Battalion Colored Infantry, and the Georgia Artillery, also a colored organization, both of Savannah. Col. Obear and Maj. French will complete their inspection of state troops on April 29. Strickland and Turner. Judson M. Strickland of Griffin, who Is a candidate for Prison Commissioner against Chairman J. S. Turner, called on Chairman Turner at the office of the Prison Commission to-day.

There does not seem to be any personal feeling between the chair man and his opponent. Mr. Strickland emphatically denied the report that he contemplated quitting the race. Dwarf Darnell Killed.
